  Yeah, I’d rather watch the Lynch version anytime, the new ones are like 6 hours of bland, *boring *choices and wooden performances.

    lol, true. At least Lynch‘s version is a entertaining fever dream.

      Yeah the only reason it could be considered “bad” is because they ran out of money and the entire 2nd half is just a montage of shots to end the movie because the producers took over.

    “Wooden performances” is the only way to describe the acting in Lynch’s. That movie is a confuding mess and painful to watch if you don’t know the story. A movie can’t simply assume you’ve read the book to understand it. People can only truly prefer Lynch to Villeneuve ironically. You can’t honestly think it’s better film.

      I thought watching the new ones was like watching paint dry. At least Lynch’s version had some personality.

        Not all personalities are likeable.

    Even the three part TV movies from around 2000 are better.

      I thought that version was generally well received?

  I will say, the first one is the most to-the-letter book adaptations i have ever seen.

  I’ve only watched the first one. Visually it was great, but the scenes over shadowed the plot to such a degree that, even having read the source , it was still hard to follow.

    lol, yes. The first avatar was mostly goosebumps to this day but avatar 2 was „wow, that looks nice. When does the plot start?“

    Regarding the fountain, I always wanted to see that movie because it looks interesting. But I heard a few times now that it’s not really good.

  I watched the first one in the theater and thought it was dry but okay. I tried rewarding it when the second one was coming out and I turned it off like 1/3 of the way through. I watched the second one but it couldn’t hold my attention at all.

  I agree with the Dune movies and in particular; I think I don’t like Denis Villeneuve; He takes a cute sci fi short story like “stories of your life” and turns it into a very self important dull thing. Then he takes a Novel about flying through space with drugs and doing terrorism warfare while riding sand worms and it all feels so somber and rigid. Man has no fun in him.

  Damn this one hard for me. I absolutely hated the casting and screenplay. But it really redefined how i see the universe in my head when i read the books.
